Xerox has debuted new compact printers and multi-function devices designed for small and medium size businesses.

The Xerox Phaser 3010/3040 stands at 208 mm tall and is nearly the size of a standard sheet of paper. The printer offers print speeds of 20 to 24 pages per minute (ppm), while the WorkCentre 3045 multifunction printer (MFP) copies, scans, faxes, e-mails, and prints documents all in one and produces pages at 24 ppm.

According to Xerox, the products are among the smallest devices in the market and are powered by Hi-Q LED print engines - the same technology found in some of Xerox's higher-end graphic arts devices.

"Businesses of all sizes are faced with doing more with less - and small companies are especially challenged by this trend," said Dan Smith, head of Integrated Marketing for the Middle East and Africa region of Xerox's Developing Markets Operations. "The Xerox Phaser 3010/3040 and WorkCentre 3045 MFP pack the productivity and functionality punch of high-end machines, at a fraction of the size."

The Phaser 3010/3040 printer and WorkCentre 3045 MFP use Xerox's EA toner, designed to use up to 20% less power for fusing than conventional toner. The Hi-Q LED print engine is also designed to make the products quieter and more energy efficient than comparable products using laser technology.

Both the Phaser 3010/3040 printer and WorkCentre 3045 MFP feature a print resolution of up to 1200 x 2400 dpi, while the Workcentre has standard Wi-Fi networking and remote management to monitor print-job progress, toner-level, and provide access to online support.

The WorkCentre 6015 MFP with wireless connectivity is Xerox's first Wi-Fi enabled device. The desktop MFP combines print, copy, scan, fax and digital workflow capabilities and shares the same print functionality as the Xerox Phaser 6010 color printer - with print speeds as fast as 12 pages per minute (ppm) for color and 15 ppm for black and white. It also features plug-and-play setup and the ability to handle custom media and sizes.

The Phaser 3010/3040 and WorkCentre 3045 are available in the Middle East through Xerox direct sales and authorised sales agents, and the WorkCentre 6015 is available worldwide through Xerox direct sales, agents, resellers and dealers.
